Dennis Olson steps up to face John Howard - 0 Comments

After Dennis Olson's win at Combat Zone in Salem, N.H. last month, he said he was ready to move on from the local scene. He said he wanted a step up in competition and to be known as the best welterweight in New England.

Well now he'll get his shot. The Amherst, N.H. native will step in and face UFC veteran and Dorchester native John "Doomsday" Howard on Oct. 9 in Miami, Fla. for Championship Fighting Alliance. Olson replaces "The Ultimate Fighter 13" cast member Charlie Rader, who broke his wrist. Howard's coach John Allan confirmed the news.
